Diving into Deductibles: Untangling the Complexity of Health Insurance Pricing

Deductibles are an important, yet often misunderstood factor in the American health insurance system.

That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am breaking down the reasons deductibles are incorporated into our health insurance plans!
